...first number Twice A Year published 34 pages of moderately pithy pontification by Alfred Stieglitz; a gustier and guttier five-page blast on aesthetics by e. e. cummings; some subtle war-time letters (1914-19) of the great German poet, Rainer Maria Rilke; excerpts from Andre Malraux and Franz Kafka among others; the studied, furious oration in which individualist Henry David Thoreau in 1859 defended individualist John Brown. Its "Civil Liberties Section" contained Roger Baldwin's On Being a Conscientious Objector (1918-1913)-plus the judge's decision that in 1918 sent Baldwin to jail...
...artist who wrote this "to an imaginary friend" in 1936 might have been writing to his solitary self, for enthusiasm has never approached the leprous about Marsden Hartley. A steadfast New England eccentric, whose writings and paintings made sense first to Alfred Stieglitz in 1909, Artist Hartley sits in Maine apainting in the summer and in a Manhattan room ascribbling in the winter, with no public attention what ever. Last week at 61, weathered, heavyset, bright-eyed Marsden Hartley had his 25th one-man show at the Hudson D. Walk er Gallery and made something...
Late in 1934 appeared a book called America and Alfred Stieglitz, composed of about 25 tributes so adoring as to make its title seem an equation.

Two days before his 75th birthday (January 1) he opened an exhibition of clear, sensitive photographs by a young unknown, Eliot Porter. "I sensed a potentiality," said Stieglitz...
There are perhaps half-a-dozen living photographers who are seriously and solely engaged in making the camera tell what concentrated truth they can find for it. One. the oldest, is Alfred Stieglitz. Another is a Hungarian war photographer, Robert Capa (TIME, Feb. 24), now in China. A third, one of the most adventurous, is a 29-year-old vagabond Frenchman named Cartier-Bresson, whose abilities sober critics have called "magical." Apparently carefree but quick on the trigger, Cartier-Bresson has snapped unforgettable, revelatory pictures of commonplace and sub-commonplace scenes, from bare French cafe tables to Mexicans with their...
Master. As free and furious as they come is John Marin, the acknowledged master of living U. S. water-colorists and an artist almost certainly great. Last week his old friend and patron, Alfred Stieglitz, opened an exhibition of Marin paintings done during the last two years. To discerning critics they were simpler and more exciting than any previous Marin exhibition...
